My heart and prayers go out to the 26 adults and children that were killed in Newtown, Conn. Elementary School.

If anything is to be learned from this horrible and tragic situation, I hope it's a better understanding, and compassion for human life.......and how precious it is,,,,,and how quickly it can be taken away..

Now my opinions, on how I feel about....

GUN CONTROL.... honestly if someone wanted to get hold of a gun, they will always find a way, and unfortunately hurt others or themselves along the way. Yet I feel we need to put more restrictions... and that is better background checks for all types of guns purchased.. regardless what they are being used for.

TECHNOLOGY....

Sometimes without realizing it, we go through life moving from one situation to another, without feeling or thinking... We seem to be motivated by machines, and interaction with people on a social level has truly lost it's way and charm. People just don't know how to communicate with one another.... with e-mails and text messaging, who needs to talk.....so maybe it's time to put away the computers, phones, video games etc. for a short time, and spend more time with family.. get to know them, again, understand them, and tell them you are interested in their lives, and you are always there for them, if they need someone to talk to..

MENTAL ILLNESS...

Not all people with this disease are dangerous and so many people have achieved success and living the best way they can.. So should we undo everything that the medical industry has achieved so far. S..SO PLEASE don't label mental illness as dangerous, WE'VE COME SO FAR, LET'S NOT GO BACKWARD, INSTEAD LET'S GET MORE INFORMATION OUT THERE SO THE PUBLIC IS MORE AWARE,.. EDUCATION IS THE BEST MEDICINE..

I believe many doctors still don't understand mental illness, they only know how to treat it with medication, therefore, they are taking care of the physical aspect, the brain.... and that in itself is a miracle, because many many years ago people with mental illness were locked away like animals,, becoming prisoners of this misunderstood disease, and the only harm these people did, was being sick... they just needed someone to care, and see that they needed medicine, like anyone else with an illness...

FAITH AND PRAYERS

Last but not Least...... I hope faith and prayers will be brought back into everyone's lives.... This I believe, helps you get through many obstacles in life... regardless of your denomination.......

And if anyone doesn't believe in God, then believe in yourself as a good human being... caring about others.... and respecting others beliefs....no one should be force their beliefs on others, because it is truly an individual decision on how they want to live their life...and it's what makes them happy...

Thank you for letting me vent and share my opinions and thoughts with you today.
